W.E.A. SUMMER SCHOOL.

YESTERDAY'S LECTURB23. The attendances at the lectures and other activities of the W.E.A. Summer School have been well maintained. Yesterday the usual morning lectures were given, Dr. R. D. Milligan speaking on "Progress from the Point of View of a Biologist." In the afternoon a party of students visited the garden of Professor Macmillan Brown under tjie guidance of Mr R. Laing. Xn th© evening Professor Shelley gave a reading of 0. Casey's play "Juno and the Paycock." after which a very interesting account of the state of Europe was given by Mr J. Saunders, who has lately returned after spending several months there. • . With the aid of a number of pictures and diagrams thrown on the screen by the balopticon, Dr. Milligan indicated the various milestones man had passed in his changes from tjie atom to the cell, and on through higher forms of Mr Saunders outlined conditions in various countries in Europe he had visited, particularly with regard to armaments. He considered that mainly onder the influence of France heavy armaments everywhere seemed the rule, under a reign of fear. Consequently he had met many people who even went so far as to predict another great war within the next ten years. There was distrust everywhere, in spite of the work of the League of Nations, which many people considered had failed in the matter of disarmament.
